The most depressing thing about this episode at this point is that even when we get cool action with those lightsaber fights the people who still hate on the show just to hate it can’t even come to say that they enjoyed that part of it. It included cool choreography, a pull from legends lore with the armor on Qimir and then deaths which were brutal. Again, it wasn’t a perfect episode. I had some issues with it, but I enjoyed the so much as if I was kid.

The “i did wear a mask” is the hardest I’ve ever laughed watching star wars

[@strika1140]

It was another way to show that its not just the "good guys" like Han Solo that can make quippy one liners.

[@zachshireman1879]

Love the fight scene but don't like how 5 Jedi got absolutely curb stomped by one sith and then they thought the fucking giant flying bugs would kill him. Loved the episode but that is my only complaint. Cheers boys 🍻

[@Smlaude21]

Some of the acting is tough. Especially the Mae/Osha stuff. But loved how they didn’t pull punches and we saw some big swings from the show.

[@kevinburns2564]

Some great saber work in this episode. Like legit 😮

[@Smlaude21]

@@kevinburns2564the Jedi kabob was so cool.

When Clem said “30min let’s go” I felt that as a dad 😂

[@starhawk63]

Another good nickname I've heard for Smylo Ren is "Darth Toothius". 😜

[@strika1140]

16:14 The luke and vader fights are iconic because of the story that has us invested emotionally with them. Phantom Menace light saber fight was carried by Maul and John Williams. The spinny EDM rave dance light saber fights suck ass

[@MC-xe7rl]

This was a great episode even with the parent trap moment. I think Sol should have been able to recognize a change in a friend easier than Vader recognizing someone as a daughter he never knew existed. I understand the plot needed it to go that way so it didn't ruined it for me. On a side note, if I am ever in a situation where I am diguising myself with an unconscious person's clothes, not sure i would take the time to redress them in mine. Loved the fighting in this one. Of course everyone else needed to die. In the end I think Sol hides the encounter with the Sith, so there could be no other witnesses. Yord would have cracked and spilled the beans. Next espisode Sol shows Mae his actions while bad werent as bad as Qimir made them out to be and Qimir turns Osha against Sol. As always, listening to the Basement Boys is fun and entertaining.

Jecki!!!!!!!!

[@beanstalk7685]

I think the reason for splitting the episodes has more to do with the Union and contracts

[@Mysaadlife]

I don’t think the show has been nearly anywhere as bad as people have been saying but it has been up and down in terms of how much I enjoyed it. But this episode really sold me on it and imo made the show worth a watch. Brilliant to lean into the obvious twist with qimir and also show how much of a threat he is power wise by killing characters we actually know.

[@cameronpeterson5961]

It gets a lot of hate due to people fighting back against the notion that it is anywhere remotely close to being good. It doesn’t even look as good as TPM and that movie is 25 years old. That’s embarrassing

[@Mickey-1994]

It's garbage.

[@iwantitall21]

The last episode sold you ? The episode that literally makes no sense at all in canon and in the moment ?

[@starhawk63]

Kenjac is right, she kited the moths back to Qimir.

[@mherd25]

Cool light saber fights doesn’t make up for bad writing & bland characters

[@gogetters6639]

Just consooome product.

[@robbyblonde]

Action was great but 5 episodes in and i just still felt no emotional investment into the characters. Jecki died and we hardly got to know her then I don’t even know who those other Jedi’s were. Also, in all the years following this the empire just said f it we don’t need to use this metal for armor that shorts out sabers and blocks blaster shots?

[@zjw-ninja-pirate]

I’m enjoying the show, not wildly but enough to keep watching for sure, & have mostly disagreed with the petty complaints…. but (lol) i did think it was weird they couldn’t tell the twins swapped only cuz in an earlier epi smilo ren knew very quick osha was pretending to be Mae…. If they reveal they both actually know I’ll walk myself out

[@joshua6102]

Bob critique Disney challenge: impossible

[@estebanmorales5083]

Beats a bunch of Jedi but loses to bugs, yea ok lol

[@Iacon40k]

The shill haters can't turn back now 😅$$$$

[@Mickey-1994]

Disney and Hollywood in general just need to give the lefty woke s@it a rest and the anti-woke channels wouldn't last.

[@alexnewman408]

Why was qimir running around for 20 minutes fighting people beating them, then deciding not to kill them and then he just ended up killing all of them at the end anyways. Also no character gave a fuck about jecki or yord dying lmao, they moved on in literally like 20 seconds

[@iwantitall21]

Without listening yet, I have to imagine the title is a troll , this show just went, what’s canon ? And we don’t care , Qimir takes on and destroys a squad of Jedi but can’t take out one padawan? And neither Sol not Qimir can sense that Mae took OSHAs clothes at the end ?? The fighting was cool everything else hot garbage

[@HernandezProAccounting305]

the truth is hard to handle and the show is trash. its life the writing is horrible and so much money for shit. if we are only rating this episode its like a 7 but the stupidity of her cutting her hair that way lmao come on

[@Iacon40k]

It's YOUR truth. Don't speak for other fans

[@cameronpeterson5961]

Nah it’s objectively bad. There’s a reason it has a 3.3/10 and it’s NOT because it’s secretly good. That’s an objective, not subjective, truth

[@HernandezProAccounting305]

@Iacon40k sensitive nancy relax lol, it's called an opinion and I didn't speak for other fans just pointed out the fact the Majority don't like it because it's not what star wars is about. stop acting like a coward and stop telling people what to do because if I want to keep commenting about the topic I will and I don't speak for other people I speak for myself but if he mentions he gets annoyed about the truth of the show it is what it is and If I want to comment I will just like you. telling me that my truth is it?? why are you speaking for me??? lmao man up clown

[@HernandezProAccounting305]

@cameronpeterson5961 Amen , they can easily make trillions of dollars with toys and more by simply following the story getting people that love the material actual do their job without corp bs like house of dragons still has woke bs but they didn't overdue it 🙄 thank you Jesus lol imagen they gave Christopher Nolan the Timothy zahn trilogy without restrictions and a good budget he is ok with. trillions of dollars would be made but nooooooooo give us the woke acocrap instead

[@HernandezProAccounting305]

@Iacon40k is it really my truth ? why are you speak for me lmao stop crying and man up lol it sucks deal with it the majority of fans agree if you like it that much to the point you can't see how bad it is compared to others then you are truly lost lmao
